I feel like there are two other factors which frequently make it look like big money teams are better at developing prospects.

Came here to post just this. It’s lazy pontificating to think that money doesn’t play a significant factor in how good the Dodgers’ roster is. For another team, all those smart free agent signings discussed above can’t happen because they’re buried under a full payroll’s worth of dead salary.

The biggest thing money does for a baseball team is buy depth and make it easier to overcome mistakes. People point at the big free agent signings and say “that’s not fair,” but that spending is not all of what bought the great Yankees and Red Sox teams of the last 15 or 20 years and it is not how the Dodgers are…

what exactly don’t you like about this signing?

The problem is that it ignores the supreme prevalence of drug use among the elite track athletes, including many from Jamaica. Other than cancer, Lance Armstrong was relatively injury free, too. I am not saying he DID use - I have no idea - but no one other than Bolt, his coaches and his doctors (and really only…

You ever been to a bodega? You mind your own business regarding the hundred arguments a night there or else you might catch an avocado in the kisser.

Please give us the name of that hotel so we make sure to never stay there. What dicks.

It makes sense that Ray Lewis would want to change the subject around the discussion of a murder.

Pretty much the only reason to know by heart another persons SSN and date of birth is identity theft (other than maybe your spouse or kids). The guy could have obtained this by going through garbage, stealing mail, peeking at his file at the school he attended, any number of ways.

As a lifelong non-athletic nerd, I get such a vicarious thrill when jocks do stereotypical dumb jock stuff. This is really brightening my day.

The answer to your question lies in the local and national media. When training camp is just beginning and there is no reason to cut a player, someone is going to ask questions.

Well, what difference does that make? Anyone willing to throw someone they know that well under the bus probably isn’t a great friend. A troubled family member used my identity to sign up for utilities because they had destroyed their credit and then proceeded to default on a couple grand worth of bills.

Why do this bullshit at all? Anyone with a functioning brain is going to say “but you’re cool with Zeke Elliott being a dipshit?” If they just cut him without all of fanfare about looking like they take off the field shit seriously, no one is talking about this. I swear to god, people who work for NFL teams are the…

The fact that he was falsely accused of a crime is just further proof that Whitehead isn’t Cowboys material.
